INTRODUCTION 


This is my eighth sale of early American furniture at The 
Anderson Galleries, my seven previous sales bringing $277,104.50. 
The following is a list of the dates and totals: 


November eighteenth, 1922 $12,966.50 
April twentieth, 1923 24,619.50 
November sixteenth, 1923 29,671.00 
April eleventh, 1924 33,021.00 
November twelfth, 1924 61,374.00 
April third, 1925 41,146.50 
November fifth, 1925 15,999.50 


Departing from my usual custom of having two sales yearly, 
I am offering to the public a January sale of fine Early American 
furniture. As the catalogue will show the quality of this sale is 
equal to that of my November sale although the quantity is not 
nearly as great. In fact many of the pieces were intended for 
that sale but were held over at the last moment. Among the many 
choice pieces are a handsome threepart dining table of unusually 
eraceful proportions, an inlaid Hepplewhite sideboard with china 
cabinet top, an important carved walnut highboy of Savery type 
which originated in Jersey. There are also handsome and rare cabi- 
nets, chests-on-chests, sets of Chippendale mahogany chairs, and 
Spanish-foot pieces. 

Any restorations that have been made have been done con- 
scientiously and with true regard for original lines. I wish to state, 
as before, that I guarantee every piece to be genuine as described. 
I shall also be glad to execute minor repairs for my New York 
clients.
